Welcome to Litsy!

1. I‘m feeling pretty good today.
2. I‘ve had trouble getting to sleep for most of my life, but once I do I can sleep well. Lately it‘s been a bit out of whack.
3. Make the room cool (not cold), dark, and quiet. Play soothing music or a sleep story podcast if needed, but don‘t play with your phone for any other reason. (I need to be better following this advice!)

I was going to say this may be one for the Kelly Clarkson fans. Then I read @LibrarianRyan ‘s review. So maybe not.

The illustrations are lovely - lots to explore in each one. But both the story and the storytelling are just… there… really. I‘m afraid it felt very much like what you‘d expect a celebrity picture book to feel like. #bbrc

Girls should continue to be encouraged to pursue careers in science and STEM. As you can see I have a daughter that dreams of being an astronaut. She said in a future letter to herself that she wants to be an engineer, the astronaut that is there to fix any problems on the space shuttle. We talk a lot about the long & hard road of becoming an astronaut (which will now be harder with recent roll backs in women being able to have an equitable space

If you‘re new/curious about #quantumphysics, #parallelrealities and the illusion of time… this illustrated all of that for me through mini storytellings! Super short and sweet, great read! 179 pages, Highly recommend (:

Excerpt from chapter “19 April 1905” page 22.

“Each future moves in a different direction of time. Each future is real. At every point of decision, whether to visit a woman in Fribourg or to buy a new coat, the world splits into three worlds, each with the same people but with different fates for those people. In time there is an affinity of worlds.”
Sooooo eye opening- incredible perspectives! 👁️

3 ⭐ I question how much help Kelly Clarkson had on this book. One it does not sound like Kelly Clarkson. Except for the lullaby. The lullaby sounds like Kelly Clarkson. This book has a decent cadence and rhymes well, but it does not sound like Kelly Clarkson. I especially say this because of how big they‘ve written Grammy award winning artist on the cover and how her biography lists all of her accolades in the music business.

Maybe it‘s just my current mood, but I didn‘t love this one. I think I would have liked it more if Part 1 had been the entire book.

“How I longed to go into the town. Longed to meet the real you. “The town is surrounded by a high wall so it‘s very hard to enter,” you said. “And going out is even harder.”

3.5 ⭐This book was lovely. It rhymes well and the story flows well. It has a cadence that is easy on the tongue and a story that seems positive and uplifting and happy. However, this book is by a Fox News host. I can‘t judge somebody by their job, but they are too many references of be yourself. You‘re my child. I love you. Be the colors others don‘t see etc. On the title page it does say that this was written with Catherine Cristaldi
